US lawmakers will vote today to repeal and replace Obamacare, Republican House leaders said. The announcement comes after a new health care reform bill gained momentum yesterday when two key Republican representatives – Fred Upton of Michigan and Billy Long of Missouri – threw their support behind the measure following the addition of 8 billion dollars to help cover insurance costs for people with pre-existing conditions.<br/><br/>An earlier version of the Republican plan collapsed in March, when opposition from both moderates and conservatives torpedoed their own party's attempt to do away with former president Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act.<br/><br/>President Donald Trump has touted the amended draft multiple times in recent days. Republicans can afford only 22 defectors if the bill is to pass.
